Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Being able to choose different items on the list was great. Have multiple options to chose from when using system.
  • The variety of the rewards you can trade your points for. Its easy to redeem your points and no hassle.
  • I like this app very much for our business that I work for.It inspires us to work hard everyday and recognize other people for their accomplishments within the workplace.
  • I like how Bucketlist Rewards is so easy to use. There is pretty much no learning curve. Recognition is easy to give and fun to receive. The point system is great and makes redeeming gift cards fun.
  • It is very user friendly. I don't have any problem finding what I'm looking for and redeeming my "dough".

Cons

  • Could have had a lot more gift cards to choose from.
  • No dislikes everything is easy to maneuver and to redeem your points are very easy.
  • The content doesn't change there should be new new adventures every day.
  • There is nothing I dislike about the platform. It is visually quite basic so some may wish for it to be more visually appealing. But I actually like the simple design.
  • I think it would be great if there was a wish list option that would allow employees to "purchase" things for their coworkers. I also think that allowing cash purchases would be great as well.
